| SpokenTruth said: Even more than that, "America" itself is not a continent. South America and North America are and together they are known as The Americas (along with Latin or Central America). Same as the states North/South Carolina or Dakota. There is no "Dakota" or "Carolina"...singlular. The USA often refers to itself as America because it is the only country with America in its name. |
Yeah, I am from America and went to college. So, I am familiar with the country.
My main point is to say that Americans call the country America in real life. So people should expect it on the internet. There is no disrespect meant in its usage it is just what people say. No reason to get annoyed by it. It is a simple thing.
